Eagles Nest Outfitters (ENO) signed on as a sponsor of REI Outessa, three immersive, three-day outdoor adventures designed to connect women with the outdoors in a supportive learning environment.
Through the partnership, ENO will create a hammock lounge and encourage participants to relax and take time to reflect on the weekend’s events. The hammock hangout will bring participants together and reinforce the connection to the event and their natural surroundings.
“Our ENOpod Hammock Stands are made to hold three hammocks and encourage a sense of community among participants,” said Lane Nakaji, general manager of ENO. “When you are relaxing in a hammock surrounded by nature it is easy to form new friendships while sharing in the experience and inspiration that has been gathered from the day’s activities. We are excited to be a part of the second year of Outessa and to continue to watch the event series grow.”
“Last year, REI Outessa was a transformational experience for hundreds of women. We are excited that ENO has signed on to provide a relaxing hammock lounge for participants. ENO will also educate participants on the ease and benefits of hammock camping. Together with ENO and other partners, we will help women tap into an emotional and profound connection to nature in her journey to live a life outside,” said Sally Johnson, the events manager for REI who helped create the Outessa series.
More than 20 of REI Outdoor School’s top female instructors will partner with leading outdoor brands to host a full range of adventures, including hiking, trail running, mountain biking, rock climbing, trail photography, paddle boarding, kayaking, climbing, yoga, backpacking, wilderness survival training, outdoor cooking and more.
